Well, I did the following.
cd /usr/share/myspell
cp en_US.dic en_DE.dic
cp en_US.aff en_DE.aff
This creates an English Dictionary for "Germany". A dictionary that
doesn't exist and won't get overwritten
by updates.
I then deleted the line "yo" from the newly created dictionary.
Then I went to the T-Bird Preferences, Composition, Spelling tab (after restarting
T-Bird) and selected
English (Germany) from the drop down menu.
After doing that "yo" had a red line under it as I had "Enable spellcheck
as you type".
Bingo! Thank you!
